Broomfield, CO —Renewable Energy Systems (RES), a leader in the development, construction, and operation of solar, energy storage, wind, and transmission projects across the globe, is pleased to announce that it has completed construction of the Penitente Solar Project, a 3 MW installation in Saguache County providing power to the San Luis Valley Rural Electric Cooperative (SLVREC). RES developed, constructed, and will operate and maintain the distributed solar photovoltaic system in South Central Colorado. AEP OnSite Partners owns the solar installation and provides the output to SLVREC through a long-term contract. SLVREC is the second-oldest electric cooperative in Colorado and is headquartered in Monte Vista, CO.

Penitente Solar is a ground-mounted project equipped with a single-axis tracking system and is in-service. SLVREC purchased the output from the facility to serve customers residing in its service territory, which includes Saguache, Rio Grande, Costilla, Alamosa, Conejos, Mineral and Hinsdale Counties. The expected operational lifetime of the project is over 25 years.

“Penitente Solar is the latest example of RES building strong relationships with co-ops across the country to develop, construct, and operate local renewable power for rural areas,” stated Tom Duckett, President of RES Distributed. “RES is pleased to have partnered with SLVREC to make available the benefits of reliable, sustainable renewable energy for their members.”

“SLVREC has investigated the development of a solar project for several years and after an extensive evaluation, selected RES to develop and construct SLVREC’s first solar project — Penitente Solar. Penitente Solar provides SLVREC members access to renewable energy which is locally generated and cost effective. We look forward to continuing to develop local renewable projects benefitting our members and our communities in the San Luis Valley,” stated Loren Howard, CEO of SLVREC. “We will continue to invest in these types of projects along with projects like Ciello powered by REC to help foster economic growth and development. We are here to help create a thriving environment to work, live and play.”

RES has constructed over 370 MW of renewable energy projects in Colorado. RES’ distributed team creates solutions tailored for each customer, providing controllable, competitive, and predictable power that customer’s require in today’s economy.

RES Distributed Announces Project Development with Southeast Colorado Power Association

Vilas Solar Project in Baca County will energize in 2017.

Broomfield, CO —Renewable Energy Systems (RES), a leader in the development, construction, financing, and operation of solar, energy storage, wind, and transmission projects across the globe, is pleased to announce that it will develop the Vilas Solar Project, a 5 MW installation in Baca County for Southeast Colorado Power Association (SECPA). RES Distributed will develop, construct, finance, operate and maintain the distributed solar photovoltaic system in the Great Plains region of Colorado. Formed in 1937, SECPA is a not-for-profit electric cooperative that serves all or parts of 11 counties in Colorado and is headquartered in La Junta, CO.

Vilas Solar will be a ground-mounted project equipped with a single-axis tracking system with a 2017 scheduled in-service date. Upon its completion, SECPA will purchase output from the facility to serve customers residing in its service territory. The expected operational lifetime of the clean energy project is over 25 years.

“Vilas Solar is the latest example of RES building strong relationships with utilities across the country to develop local renewable power for rural areas,” stated Tom Duckett, President of RES Distributed. “RES is pleased to partner with SECPA to make available the benefits of cost-effective, reliable, sustainable renewable energy for their members.”

RES has constructed over 370 MW of solar, wind, and energy storage projects statewide. The RES Distributed team creates solutions tailored for each customer, providing local control and competitive, predictable power.

The hometown of the man credited with bringing electricity to the area is teaming up with Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) to bring solar power to the area.

PEC formally announced on February 27 they are partnering with the City of Johnson City to construct two one-megawatt solar facilities off of HWY 290 on City owned property.

At a Government Leaders Appreciation dinner in 2015, PEC CEO, John Hewa gave a presentation about the cooperative’s plans to launch several solar farms in their service territory. Johnson City Mayor, Dawn Capra approached him after the presentation to discuss PEC working with Johnson City. Mayor Capra reports the city had 19 acres available for a possible solar site.

“We felt that a community and a utility could work together to deliver more options for cost-effective sustainable power.” Said Ingmar Sterzing, PEC Vice President of Power Supply and Energy Services about the partnership with local municipalities.

The facility will cover 14 acres of city owned property off HWY 290 and will consist of 5,700 solar panels.“The project will benefit our city from both an economic and environmental standpoint and we are excited to be the future home to two state-of-the-art facilities.” said Capra.

Renewable Energy Systems Americas Inc. (RES) will oversee development and operation of the facilities. “They are leasing the property from the city and will pay property taxes that benefit our city and school district”, said Capra. “The facility will be constructed at no cost to the city.”

According to a PEC press release, the site was determined to be ideal for a solar array due to its position near a PEC distribution line, the site topology and its orientation to the sun. They also conducted an environmental study that indicates the equipment will not have an adverse effect on native plants and animals. PEC also said the design is optimized to reduce the environmental footprint.

While a member of Congress in 1937, Former President Lyndon B. Johnson, worked to bring electricity to the Johnson City area and the rural Texas Hill Country. “Since Johnson City is the hometown of President Johnson...we thought that having Johnson City be the first in PEC’s plans for solar power throughout their region would be [appropriate.]”, said Capra.

Ground will break on the site between May and June of this year, PEC reports construction will take approximately two to four months, power from the facilities should reach distribution lines this fall.

The Johnson City facility is one of many that PEC has planned across their territory. When completed, their goal is to generate 15 megawatts of solar power. PEC stated, this power will be utilized in peak periods when market energy prices are highest.

“We are truly excited about this solar generation project and about starting it in Johnson City, where PEC was formed almost 80 years ago. It’s truly symbolic of our forward-thinking strategy rooted in our founding principles.”, said Sterzing.

The largest solar farm in Texas is “Alamo 5” in Uvalde. “Alamo 5” went online in April 2016. This site produces 95 megawatts of solar power.

Energy experts report Texas to have the greatest wind and solar power potential in the country.
